World Premiere of Un-Settled

A highlight of the concert will be the world premiere of Un-Settled, a newly composed piece by Gerald Willis, the orchestra’s conductor and music director. Inspired by the landscapes and history of the American West, Un-Settled explores themes of transformation, resilience, and the untamed beauty of the frontier.

“I wanted to capture the duality of the West—both its beauty and its challenges,” said Willis. “It’s a story of people finding their place in an untamed land, and I’m excited to share this piece with the community.”
